When you first open up zh Googlemap you think "Whoa, I'll never figure this out". Its so feature rich - there's so much this component can do. But don't be daunted - Go for it.
I've used it for really simple maps and for very complex interactive maps - I mapped a whole state of Australia, breaking it up into approximately 90 individual highly detailed territories (polygons). This component made what seemed like the impossible, very easy. And I've seen what others have done and some of them are amazingly awesome - the detail and the features are mind-blowing.
Once you finish, you think "I wonder if I could add [something/anything]?" YEP! Its all there - anything I can think of, this component does it.
The instructions are a bit difficult - the English is a bit broken, BUT ask the developer on his forum and he's straight back to you with the answer. Can't ask for more.
AND, this component is regularly updated with new features.
I love it. Just excellent.

I wanted a component or plugin to use with k2 where I can use lots of different maps all with various different placemarkers. I needed them for category layouts. After 2 weeks and just about giving up I gave this component, along with the plugin, a try, and it is fantastic. It looks overwhelming at first, but after playing around you notice all the extras that I have not seen on any other maps. Thank you to the developer and for making this component non-commercial. Highly recommended and fantastic work!

Thanks.
You can notice, if you create simple map - you just only need to do - it is leave all by defaults.
In this case to create map - just set it width, height and center.
As for placemark - it's position and map.
It takes 10 seconds to create map.
The other settings - for advanced playing :)
I just downloaded this component yesterday and haven't had a chance to see if it will do every I would like I think it is absolutely brilliant. 10 out of 10!
I'm using to map multiple places under multiple groupings and Im not sure that I can place specific places under a specific group its still great.
Thanks

I was looking for a 2.5 Google Map component (module,plugin) and I find this. I have a little bit of difficulty to have Exactly what I was needed and the support team patiently, nicely answer all my question. This can propels simple to extremely complex maps. The ultimate tool with the best people... Bravo!
Out of all the component extensions I have used this is by far the best. It has helped turned an idea formulated over a few beers into a possible money making venture. I have only had to as two question from the developer via the forum and the responses were quick, accurate and polite. Thank you.
P.S. If it helps me to earn some money as planned I'll come and buy you a beer!!!

Thank you!
I still have lots of features which I think will be very useful to have in it. Only is needed to find time to do that.
And I'm very appreciate anyone who support my developments :)
Excellent +
The online response for one question I had was immediate (given our 12 hour time difference)
I have tried other google map components. Nothing, nothing available compares to this gem.

I have tried other google map components. Nothing, nothing available compares to this gem.
First off this is a great piece of software. Its very flexible to use (component, module and plugin) its customizable in various ways, from the back-end and by own stylesheets. Also its very good usable in responsive design.
Then the support is worth a 5 stars rating too, I had some wishes which could be fixed within the current release and some which could not. Dima clearly showed me how to reach my goals and was prepared to discuss about new ideas and implementing them in future release. Forum posts got answered immediately...So great software, great support and great work, use it and get happy.

Hi.
I think you should read forum, or ask me about this problem on forum.
I answered about that:
The reason for this problem is that the file you want to upload is too big.
The File Size Upload Limit (upload_max_filesize) on your Web Server is set to low to allow larger files to be uploaded. By
default PHP allows files up to 2 MB, but you can set for example to 4M (or 8M) to get rid of this error.
After my extension come over version 3.0, the size of zip-archive started more than 2M.
Go to PHP settings, check it, and I think there is a problem :)
For example, search by google "joomla There was an error uploading this file to the server"
First result = the same answer

This is an awesome extension.
I started working with Mambo, (earlier version), many years ago. Later I continue using Joomla! Drupal and Wordpress, but, this one with more frecuency, for the easiest use, integration, etc.
Now I'll be back on Joomla, thanks to the work of people like this, that is dedicated to developing extensions really easy to use, install, and free for community.
Dmitry... ¡Olé!
(My spanish compliment).

Thank you very much.
I'll try to keep developing on this level :)
If you're looking for a Google map solution, this is the way to go. The truth is, it surprises me this isn't a commercial extension. The functionality is very thorough and works like a charm. I can see no reason why I would ever use a different Joomla map extension.

Hi.
Thank you very much.
I'm thinking of commercializing my projects, because donations are not cover just my hosting, but I don't decide to do that yet :)
I'm getting experience of web-developing, and while I have enough time to do it free - I'll do that this way.
Cheers,
Dmitry
Truly an exemplary component (and module addon) with unrivalled forum support, and best of all prompt Action! I am convinced this developer would reinvent the wheel if you asked him to. And for free. What more can one ask for?
I have only scratched the surface with this feature rich component, but found even the basics very intuitive and useful. I look forward to using this again and again in future projects, however complex the requirements.
Thank you!

Thank you very much.
I have used a number of Google Map systems for Joomla and none of them really had all the features in the one system that you could want, until I found this one.
Quite possibly the largest feature set available and is constantly updated. Best of all, it is free!
Look no further, you have found the best mapping system for Joomla!!

I tryed a lot of times and I sdtudied a lot of hours how to manage Maps apis all toghether. If you study how to create a Panoramio map and then you choose to insert another layer, with javascripts, probably they do not work toghether. I whoulded to create a complex map with icons and elements, with photos and interesting points. But the limit is that google documentation do not explain how put all apis toghether. So it was a dream in my mind to create a folkloristic map ..... since I found this. I donate because I think that is the most usefull extension I ever met. My map is now full of things to do, full of things to see and full of things to go to see. You can copy in seconds placemarks between maps. Now I am creating a painted map .... impossible without a component that helps you. This map, this work whould be impossible with javascript! Thanks to the programmer! Thanks for joomla that became a chamaleon now!!!!
